I would like some of those pieces in game. I think their uniforms look pretty good. Somehow America's formal uniforms have ended up looking like they're all going yachting for the last two Olympics.

It's Ralph Lauren doing it, and they've got Polo icons on the left chest big enough that they can probably be seen by whatever sports blimp will be in the area.  🙄 You'd think it was 1984 or something.   Actually, when you mentioned "yachting" I was expecting Nautica.

 

I'm now starting to look for other countries' uniforms.  Great Britain's track uniforms are by Addidas, and honestly they look a bit uninspiring, with the font for the country's name looking like someone was playing with the free fonts website.  IMHO, Britain deserves better.   The GB dress uniforms are also a little bland, but a second glance reveals some nice highlights.  There's some nice embroidery on the back of the bomber-style jacket, in an arrangement of the four countries plant symbols.  They apparently also have an alternate outfit with a casual Polynesian shirt style.

 

Canada's is by lululemon.  Not really feeling it.

 

Ooohhh...Philippines has a great design for their boxers. Would love to see that "sling" brought into the game's wardrobe as well.  I wonder if that would classify as a chest overlay or a shoulder?

 

Haiti has an interesting design in the ceremonial uniform.  I'm not sure what to make of the Mary Poppins boots however.

 

South Korea has a great pattern on the ceremony outfit, but unfortunately, it will be on the inside lining of the jacket where no one will really see it.

 

Ah, well, there's probably more great ones out there.  I'm not a clothes horse so for me this is unusual.   I guess my interest is in what could be ported over to game costuming.

UK kit is by Ben Sherman, and much as with that brand, looks... Wetherspoons*-ready, rather than fit for action or the catwalk.

La France: by Berluti and Le Coq Sportif, and... well, it's neat, NICE ceremony jacket, colourful but not loud for competition kit, quite smart and restrained for the podium outfits, and I might need a pair of the shoes.

If there's anything else I'm slightly coveting, it's the Aussie ceremonial jacket. And maybe the skirt (or the guys' boardshorts, because they're a bunch of bogans.)

Those navy jackets with the multi-colored lapels look very sharp, though I'm not a fan of the sleeveless version.  The Aussie ceremonial jacket is likewise quite nice, though again, pairing it with shorts feels weird for a special ceremony.  Guess I'm just too old fashioned.

You're just not Australian. Them's high-end formalwear boardies, mate.

Of course, for date night, budgie smugglers all round. Ripper.

 

On that note, I am slightly disappointed that those Lululemon jackets aren't denim, for a proper Canadian tuxedo look, eh.
